Chapter 738 The First Generation God

"Lord Ross, just tell me, what exactly is the connection between the Giant City and the Three Fates?"

Inside the camp, Celia stood behind Doris, the team leader, watching with a serious expression as Doris reported to Katherine. In reality, she was already nagging Ross in her mental space, trying to get him to satisfy his curiosity.

Ross has left things unfinished more than once, and in the past, Celia would just let it go and not ask any further questions.

But after being subjected to this repeated time and time again, even though Celia's curiosity wasn't as high as Benovia's, she couldn't help but feel a little restless.

The giants, a race that vanished into the annals of history, how exactly did they offend the gods, and how did they disappear? What role did the three Fates play in their deaths?

A host of questions filled Celia's mind.

"I'm not particularly curious, but I want to know the background of the Giant City ruins. This ruin is known as the most difficult one, and it's necessary to understand the backstory to make those three horses move."

Celia winked at Ross, looking pitiful.

"Mr. Ross also wants to find the Three Fates, right? And to find them, you'll inevitably have to rely on me, won't you? Letting me know some secrets wouldn't hurt, would it? Could it be that Mr. Ross has connections with the Three Fates…?"

Ross was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. It's not a big deal. It's just that this enormous city, which can be described as a wonder, was built by the giants under the guidance of the three Fates."

Celia looked disappointed. "That's it? Then why is Lord Ross acting so mysterious?"

Would I say I was just teasing you?

Ross smiled and said, "The conflict between the giants and the gods involves the dispute between the first gods and the Zeus pantheon. It's too much to explain all at once, and you wouldn't have had time to listen to the story back then. Isn't it normal that I didn't tell you?"

"The first god?"

Celia thought for a moment and recalled the descriptions in mythology and history. Regarding the first gods, there seemed to be only one sentence.

The first group of extraordinary sorcerers who completed the ascension to godhood were called gods. Relying on their great power, they acted recklessly, turning the entire world into their playground. The great chief god Zeus responded to the wishes of all beings, killed all the brutal gods, and established the system of twelve chief gods.

Celia recounted the description from the book, but Ross smiled and shook his head: "It's not that simple. The first generation of gods ravaged the land for a very long time, longer than the establishment of the twelve main god pantheons. That period was quite barbaric. The first generation of gods who completed their ascension to godhood did not need faith or to condense a divine spark."

"Isn't that just..."

"That's right. The first generation of gods were all Saint-level. However, they had figured out the power of the laws, and they were all first-generation laws. Their strength was greater than that of ordinary Saint-level gods. It wasn't until later gods discovered the power of faith and merged faith and authority together to form a divine personality, which exerted a stronger power than ordinary laws, that they withdrew from the stage of history."

"Of course, there are some gods in this pantheon who are the first gods, but none of the twelve Olympian gods are."

Celia returns to the main storyline: "Then what about the conflict between the gods and the giants? How could they be wiped out to the point where we found nothing?"

"Among the first generation of gods, their power was often divided by race. The giants were born with immense strength and their mastery of the basic elements was unmatched by other races. They gave birth to a great many first generation of gods and became the strongest race in ancient times. Now you should understand why they had conflicts with the twelve main gods, right?"

"I understand, then this is the remnant ruins of the giant city..."

"When the Twelve Olympians first mastered the belief system, their strength was not as great as it is now, because there were not many believers in them. The giants were a notoriously faithless race; they only believed in their own fists. The Twelve Olympians could not defeat them by fighting head-on, so they had to use their wits. The Three Fates lured them into building wonders and water cities, implying that there were many undiscovered worlds besides Starfall Continent, and that they should build water cities to explore them."

"Do you think the giants believe you so easily?"

“I don’t know about that, and I’m not from that era either.” Ross shook his head. “The rights and wrongs of that time have long since vanished. However, if you can explore this ruin, you might also learn some secrets that others don’t know, because this ruin is not the ruin of the giants.” Celia thought of the twelve pillars underground and nodded.

The height and spacing of those pillars were nothing like the towering giants in the ruins.

"Is there anything else...? But these don't seem to be enough to clear the second stage..."

"To learn more, just enter Giant City and explore. Regardless of whether this ruin was left by the three Fates, it must contain the cause and effect, or the method to activate the three horses."

"Ok."

When Doris finished chatting with Ross, she also reported that she had completed her task.

Katherine took the details of the adventure that Doris described, as well as the mysterious monster that appeared at the end, which seemed to be the spirit controlling the ruins, very seriously.

She exclaimed, "As expected of the Saintess Squad, they discovered something new that we haven't found in so long after just one trip. Anyone else would have failed that test. The reward for advancing your elemental power is well worth it. However, it seems that Celia, Benovia, and Phil didn't receive any rewards. How about this, I'll report to the school and ask them to reward you on your behalf."

Celia had no interest in the small amount of gold coins the school awarded her; it was less than a fraction of what she had gained from her trip to the Elf Forest. Nevertheless, she joined the others in expressing her gratitude.

After that, I went back to rest.

Time quickly came to the next day.

Celia, Benovia, and the others, fully prepared, returned to the underground entrance to the ruins. Upon entering, the scene before them slowly transformed into the appearance of the Giant City.

Before they could even take in their surroundings, a sense of crisis began to grip Celia's mind.

She reacted quickly, casting a defensive spell. The others also reacted quickly, forming a defensive combination barrier that blocked several magical attacks flying from not far away.

Celia looked at the monsters that were eager to attack and stretched her body.

"You were tortured all day yesterday, and today we're going to torture you back no matter what. Are you ready?"

Doris's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit: "Hmph, I was so frustrated yesterday, that monster didn't give me any pleasure at all, today I'm going to make a river of blood!"

Phil said, "Let's focus on exploration first."

"Why worry about all that? Let's kill all these monsters first, then we can explore!"

So the girls rushed forward, shouting and yelling, and began a one-sided massacre.

Blood gradually stained the ground red.

"Hmm? Blood?"

Celia suddenly sensed something was wrong.
